St. Charles-Area Colleges Profiled by White House
New searchable database identifies how schools perform on cost, graduation and loan defaults. See how schools such as Lindenwood University rated.
President Barack Obama used part of his State of The Union address Feb. 12 to promote the release of an education scorecard, a tool he said "parents and students can use to compare schools based on a simple criteria: where you can get the most bang for your educational buck." The College Scorecard was released the following day. It does not rank schools, like The Princeton Review or U.S. News & World Report. Instead, it provides information about cost, graduation rate, loan default and median borrowing. In the future, it will also include average earnings for graduates who attended school using federal loan dollars. What does it say about schools in the St. Charles County-area?

Readers React to College's Student Cannabis Club
Cougars for Cannabis is a new club at St. Charles Community College which has stirred debate on campus. We want to know what you think about the issue.
Wednesday's story that featured one St. Charles Community College's newest student clubs, the Cougars for Cannabis Club, sparked a lengthy debate on if student fees should be used for a club that seeks to legalize the use of marijuana.

They plan to organize voter-registration and petition drives and work with NORML, the national nonprofit working to change marijuana laws. But the club’s very existence on campus has been the subject of debate for several months. For more on this story, CLICK HERE.

"JKK" is 100% wrong. This group is about changing the law, NOT breaking the law. It most definitely is NOT "a club for illegal activity"!! Our legislators also talk about changing the law - that's their job. Are they "a club for illegal activity"? Would there be so much outcry if this group was trying to change a different law? And maybe the marijuana laws should be changed? The relevant question… more ›

Cougars for Cannabis Club Stirs Debate on Campus
Club seeks to create discourse on cannabis policy, but some students say it's not appropriate for the college.
The Cougars for Cannabis Club is among the newest clubs at St. Charles Community College. The club’s goal is to create discourse on cannabis policy and to advocate for decriminalization and regulation of marijuana.

Administrators say free speech laws under the constitution mean the group has the right to exist as a club on campus, despite how objectionable some might find its goals. But several students don’t think this club should have a place in St. Charles Community College. Jon Bennett, a student at the …
